Chaos Lord (Champion Trait, recharges after a short or long rest). If the balor is bloodied, it can remove one condition or effect it is suffering and it can use its champion actions.
Death Throes. When the balor is reduced to 0 hit points, it dies, its weapons are destroyed, and it begins to implode. On its initiative count each round after it dies, the balor's body reduces by one size category. When the balor's body becomes Small, it explodes and each creature within a 60-foot radius of it must make a DC 20 Dexterity saving throw, taking 70 (20d6) fire damage* on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The explosion ignites the area for 1 minute. Any object in the area or creature the ends it turn in or adjacent to the area takes 10 (3d6) fire damage.
*This damage is not calculated as part of the balor's CR.

Fire Aura. At the end of each of the balor's turns, each creature within 5 feet of it takes 10 (3d6) fire damage, and flammable objects in the aura that aren't being worn or carried ignite. A creature that touches the balor or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 10 (3d6) fire damage.
